Abstract:Microstrip filters have a significant role in Radio Frequency/Microwave applications. Microstrip filters are common on microwave circuits, satellite communications, radars, test equipments and so on. Because microstrip filters are compact, cheap and easy to produce, they are highly preferred for microwave applications. Microwave filter; microwave system is a two-ported element used to control the frequency response at a certain point by attenuating the frequencies in the stop band by transmitting in the frequency band. Typical frequency responses are low pass, high pass, band pass and band stop. Also, approaches such as Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Elliptic are defining filter characteristics. In this thesis, microstrip filters having Chebyshev, Elliptic and Maximally Flat approaches were designed. The filter having best cutoff, highest attenuation and optimum design for production was produced using Thin Film Technology and tested. This filter having 6 GHz cutoff frequency and having 42 dB at 6,6 GHz. AWR Sonnet is used for the simulation and analysis of this filter. And, Vector Signal Generator is used for filter's test. Furthermore, this thesis includes details of Thin Film Technology used in production of design filter. It is common in our country lastly. This technology provides less loss and more compact designs.
